SYRACUSE, N.Y. – An experienced talent evaluator, Dave Boller has been appointed Syracuse's director of player personnel, Orange head football coach Dino Babers announced on Thursday, March 30. Boller has nearly 20 years of experience evaluating NFL players and joins the Orange after spending the previous two seasons at Louisville.
Â
At Syracuse, Boller will work closely with Director of Recruiting Operations Asil Mulbah to coordinate the program's efforts to identify and attract top high school student-athletes.
Â
"Dave has a tremendous eye for talent," Babers said. "He was in the NFL for a long time. That experience, those contacts, and the knowledge he gained by being in a college setting, will only help us get better."
Â
While at Louisville, Boller worked as the Cardinals' NFL liaison and director of on-campus recruiting in 2015. He transitioned to director of high school relations for the Cardinals in 2016.
Prior to his time at Louisville, Boller served as an area scout for the New York Jets in 2013-14. In that role, he was responsible for evaluating offensive and defensive line prospects in the western half of the country.
Boller stepped out of football for four years as the territory manager for Beaulieu of America, but before that worked for three years as the assistant pro director for the Detroit Lions. From 2007-09, Boller assisted Detroit's general manager with salary cap matters, performed evaluations for both active players and free agents, and assisted with the weekly advance report for the coaching staff.
Â
In addition to his front-office experience, Boller spent 13 seasons in the NFL as a scout for the St. Louis Rams (2004-07), the Philadelphia Eagles (1998-2004) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1995-98).
Boller began his career in athletics at Arizona State where he served as the Sun Devils' director of football operations from 1985-95. He was responsible for monitoring the ASU football budget, organizing recruiting functions, setting up travel, housing and meals for the team, and organizing official visits.
Â
Boller attended Arizona State from 1980-84. He holds a degree in business.
